Will these fish mix?

Thanks I might do that. That ID is beautiful though. It'll have to go in the 600 i guess

a 55 is 48x12.5 inches long/wide right?

An ID shark can get up to like 36", and the recommended minimum for one is like 2000 gallons.

I don't even understand why they sell these things in fish stores.

Okay okay lol I understand now. I have heard of people keeping them in 55's. Would a 600 gallon 8 footer work? Hopefully?

I thought it was going to be a 500 gallon it just grew 100 gallons. Even with a 500 or 600 I wouldn't get the id there very active swimmers and need a lot of room to swim you gonna need more like a pond for one of these.

Ha lol

I am not the one who drew the plans but my friend and I are making a very large plywood tank still debating size.

ID sharks are certified tank busters, they are better in schools and therefore should be in some sort of a pond.

Okay then I guess I shouldn't get it. Ugh I love him though. Such an amazing fish.

Tank plans are 8'L x 4'w x 3'h. This would be about 718 gallons.

 

[kjfan1]

Holy balls! Would an ID be okay in that guys?

I don't think so man, as they said, they like to school. and if they aren't they will probably feel un-secure, making them skittish, and that will make for a huge busted tank.
